Default Retro-fitting factory cruise control

hi guys
can someone please tell me where all the bits go? i have the ECU, the stalk, the diaphragm and rod, the motor, and the vacuum hoses and brake switch. The stalk and ECU are easy ... but the rest? any pics and a point form explanation would be greatly appreciated!
cheers franklin.

The diaphram will go above the gas pedal into the side of the A/C box.
The brake switch will go either above or below the Brake light switch.
The Vaccum pump goes into the bottom of the battery box.It slides in and then is held in by one screw.
Then you will have to run the vaccum lines and install the relay into the relay box/fuse box.

I will try to find some kind of diagram but not sure if I can.

If this helps here is a wiring diagram. Follow link to 850

Many thanks! appreciate the speediness of your reply ... the Haynes manual was about as useful as a hip pocket in a singlet ...

riiiiight ...
stalk is in.
ECU is in relay/fuse box under the bonnet (hood).
servo motor is in under battery box.
brake switch is in.
but the diaphragm has me head scratching ... of course the following may be the problem ... i have a RHD 850 and the cruise came off a LHD 850 ... are theyt different or am I looking to fit it in the wrong place?? After all, everything else is a perfect fit ..
Where does the diaphragm munt onto and where does the end piece slot into?? the more specific, the better!

so close and yet so far ....

You may have one peice missing.
The diaphram mounts to the left of the gas pedal on the white box. Look for like a round looking thing with a slot on the top. The diaphram points straight up and slides in then turns down. The rod clips onto a black arm that is mounted to the top of the Gas pedal. It kind of swivels up then the rod will lock on.

I wish I had pics but I don't.
